11 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite (Jan 29)

10. Big Beef

MJF Wardlow beef

"Weird but effective" is probably the best way to describe the vignette in which MJF and Wardlow walked into The Butcher and The Blade's literal butcher shop, handing the duo a big fat stack of cash with The Young Bucks' name on it.

Wardlow was as stoic as ever behind MJF, who looked utterly hacked off. It's hard to blame him after last week's swimming pool shenanigans. He handed the envelope over to The Bunny, her beefy brethren emerged, and the trio were in their gear as the camera came back up.

This was a neat little reminder of the relationship between MJF and the Triple Bs. 'The Salt of the Earth' hired them to take care of Cody a few months ago. Now, with The Young Bucks throwing him on the pool last week, he was calling on his hired guns to try and take care of them as well. The execution was kinda silly, sure, but at least it wasn't Nightmare Collective silly.
